    Summary

    We are releasing 7 new features this month and 23 changes to existing features in our systems.

    We've also made several performance improvements and fixed bugs not mentioned below.

    New for this release is that we’ll do a webinar to explain all the details about the features.

    The release will be effective on our s02 - instance at 22:00 GMT+1, 26/2 and all other instances (s01, s03, s04, s05, s06, s07 + WMS) on the 27/2 at 22:00 GMT+1

     

    ERP (Backend)

    Blocked / unblocked products in the inventory log of a product

    Area:

    Requires support to activate?

    How to access it?

    Product

    No

    Enabled for everyone

    When a product is placed in blocked storage in WMS, it receives a clear marking in the WMS product log that it has been moved to blocked storage and when it is taken back, it receives a notice in the log as moved from blocked storage.

     

    The same transaction in the product inventory log in the Backend gives only the transaction "Block" for both issue and receipt (and without any indication of the number). This can now be followed in a logical way when looking at the log afterwards.

    All unblocks are printed as e.g. “-4” & blocks are printed as “4”.

    You can access this information via "Products → "Selected product" → Left side menu → Warehouse log

    Automation of the review queue when orders exceed the customer's credit limit or if the customer has an overdue invoice

    Area:

    Requires support to activate?

    How to access it?

    Order

    Yes

    Enabled by Extend Support

    Today, Extend ERP has the option to stop orders for, among other things, these reasons: "Invoice late" and "Credit limit exceeded". After that, it is manual work to pass on these orders.

    We have built a function that automates this by checking whether these reasons are still "valid" to facilitate the work if you have many orders with invoice as payment method.

     

    When you have activated the function, orders are automatically released if:

    • The customer's credit limit is increased

    • The customer has paid an invoice so the credit used is now lower.

    • The customer has overdue invoices and pays them so that they no longer have overdue invoices.

    The function automatically releases the oldest order for the customer to the order queue

     

    It is possible to disable the function for a specific customer:

    The feature can also be turned off/on after Extend Support has enabled it:

    Under gears → Other settings → Client settings

     

     

    Now able to release specific order lines for picking without the order becoming "partial delivery allowed"

    Area:

    Requires support to activate?

    How to access it?

    Order

    No

    Enabled for everyone

    Today we have functions called

    • "Release to warehouse for picking"

    • "Force Immediate Delivery"

    Previously if you used these functions, Extend automatically filled in the checkbox on the order header "allow partial delivery" and released the order for picking.

     

    The new feature does not enable "allow partial delivery" and ships what is in stock but holds the rest of the order until it is completed.

     

    Orders that have not had "allow partial delivery" ticked have not been invoiced before. This is also fixed.

    Inside delivery, we had an interface that had a lot of "air" in it, which made it difficult for staff to find the right product. We've tidied it up a bit and made it more compact.
